The location is great. The staff are really nice. They have unlimited internet (unlike other hotels there) in the commom areas. They could give me good tips about the city. The restaurant is very good.

This property has been on Booking.com since Mar 21, 2012.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

- nice location
- very helpful staff
- comfortable

- wifi only worked in the restaurant but not in the rooms
- the shower holder in the room was broken and the shower curtain was laughable as there was always water all over the floor afterwards
- in comparison with other places we stayed at in Cape Verde, the breakfast was a little bit pricey as it was more about presentation than a filling breakfast. But maybe I was just very hungary

The bar and reception personell was very helpful and friendly.
The restaurant was very good, one of the better ones in town.

Exceptional bad matrasses on the beds.
The hotel management was very rude, i stayed there a week and the never spoke a word to me.
The minibar is exceptional expensive, they charge 1.5 euro for a mars peice of 2 cm...
I will never return to that hotel.

- perfect for wandering around Mindelo centre
- you can hear concerts from the square (on your doorstep) = we knew exactly when the soundcheck was over and it was time to head out to watch the performance:)
- breakfast - 1 dish a la cart + bread, butter, marmelade, juice, coffee/tea... Yum!
- friendly, helpful staff

とにかく立地は抜群。
部屋は広くはないが清潔で居心地は良い。
レストランの料理は、少し高いものもあるが全体的に美味しくお薦めできる。
多くの人の意見では、夜のレストランから音楽や人の声がうるさいとのことだが、個人的には全く感じなかった。ただ、同じフロアの別の部屋のドアの開閉音がとてもうるさいので、耳栓は用意しておいた方がいいと思います。
Location is excellent.
The room was not so spacious but comfortable.
The restaurant serves excellent dishes if some are little bit expensive.
Some (many?) people mentioned about the noise of the music and people of this restaurant but I never felt that even though I am always very nervous about the noise during night. (I think different artists play every night so the volume and sound might be differnt each day.)
Anyway, you'd better to prepare earplug, because the noise of closing door of other rooms was so disturbing like many other hotels in this country.
